To effectively manage ADHD symptoms through exercise, aim for a consistent routine. Think of exercise as a "treatment dose." You should aim for at least one 30- to 40-minute activity a day, 4 or 5 days a week. The exercise should be "moderately intense," meaning that during your workout, your heart rate goes up, and you breathe harder and faster.
Here’s a breakdown for easier understanding:
- Frequency: 4-5 days per week
- Duration: 30-40 minutes per session
- Intensity: Moderate (increased heart rate and breathing)
The type of exercise is flexible, allowing you to choose activities you enjoy and are more likely to stick with.
